This is the first fanfiction I wrote. I wrote this for a 7th grade English project
I do not own the greek and roman gods, those belong to their previous civilizations.
Criticism appreciated, but flames are not.
I remember the day that I met Mars and Neptune. It all started like this I was touring the USS Gatillo, a bull shark class attack submarine.
When suddenly, the ship started up and the hatches sealed. The ship began to descend as we exited the harbor. Suddenly a figure appeared min the Combat Information Center. The figure had a long beard and a trident. Another figure walked in from the forward torpedo bay. He was in iron armor with a large sword and an even larger shield. The first one I recognized as Neptune lord of the sea. The other one I did not recognize until he was addressed by Neptune. He was Mars the God of War. I introduced myself as rear admiral curling commander of the USS enterprise carrier strike group. Neptune asked me about piloting a submarine. I replied no but my close friend and first officer, Master Chief Petty Officer Andrew Chekov did. I also told them that some of the crew of the USS Ohio was here as well almost all made up of bridge crew members. Neptune asked me to call master chief Chekov here to receive a briefing about the attack on Vulcan.
When the master chief walked in he froze when he saw me with 2 people he did not recognize. I introduced them and they explained what was going to happen. Mars and Neptune had the USS Iowa, the USS Red October, the USS San Antonio, and the USS Virginia were forming up on the continental divide with us to form a attack group.[Let me introduce you to Vulcan first. He is the god of fire. He lives on the Pillar of fire a yacht 6 times the size of the Titanic.]
"After a few hours we were approaching the target. Target twelve o'clock, range 100 meters Lord Neptune." I reported. "Arm harpoon silos 1 through 4 along with torpedo tubes one and two. Make our depth 100 feet." Ordered Neptune." Aye sir arm tubes one and two along with silos one through four depth 100 feet. We are ready to fire my lord." I replied. "Fire!" Neptune snapped out. "Torpedoes away. Sir, Mars has taken some troops aboard in a zodiac!" I said. "That fool," Neptune spat out." He knows Vulcan can burn anything. Arm silos five through ten and tubes three through six." Aye Aye sir, arming tubes three through six and silos five through ten. Sir Sonar reports that there are explosions near the reactor." I responded." All ahead aft, 10,000 meters." Neptune exclaimed in a small panic. Then suddenly with a flash as bright as the sun the boat exploded.
By the time we made it back to the harbor, we all had realized that Mars was dead. Lord Neptune was in the ward room alone on the radio with Zeus, talking about who would replace Mars. When we reached the harbor he took me aside and said that I was the new god of war. He then took me to a building in the city called "The Olympian" a hotel on a grand scale I was then introduced to Zeus who took me 300 stories below ground. I was then led into a large room with piles of weapons and armor as far as the eye could see.
I was then told to make any combination at once. I chose a skull shaped helmet, some mesh armor, some chain mail, and some titanium armor. I then picked up a spiked shield the size of a car door, a scythe the size as tall as Shaquille O'Neil, a mystical trident, a bow and arrow set, and a whole lot of mystic potions.
Zeus then came up to me and knighted me Ares the god of war.
